Casual Monday -- What Ubisoft Needs to Do Edition

They need to steal this idea and run with it immediately, that's what they need to do! Classic Prince of Persia fans take note, Armor Games' Sleepless Knight - Assassin runs a lot like you'd expect a combination of Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia and Lode Runner to -- the levels themselves are puzzles, the guards are ruthless and your character (Lucy) just can't help but collect inconveniently placed 'coins.'

If it weren't for the squirrelly controls on my laptop's keyboard, this game would be near Portal-level clean in it's ability to (enjoyably) present an entire game in a short period of time -- editing is key in these types of games, folks. However, on the exact opposite end of things, our number one complaint with SKA (like the aforementioned Portal) is it's shortness. That's correct -- we are simultaneously praising and damning a single element of SKA's entirety. It's a wonderful game that we're sure to replay but we can't help but shake the feeling we'd like a little more of a challenge (in the form of additional levels.) Oh, and we'd tell you about the story but seriously, you don't care that much. It's a 20 minute game -- you don't need a story, though they do provide one (and elegantly at that.)

Now get on that, Ubisoft. Check's in the mail, right? Thaaaanks.

Casual Monday Addendum -- This Game is Hard as Shit Edition

This fine Monday we present you with, no joke, The World's Hardest Game. Of course, hard is really a subjective term. Tabuu was hard to beat in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but let's be honest -- he's a cheap son of a bitch. I guess what I'm getting at is this game ain't much better. Created by Armor Games, developer of previous Casual Monday showcased game The Last Stand, you may find yourself mad immediately -- the first level is ridiculous. And that's just the first f'ing level. Good luck, sucker!

[UPDATE] Seriously, this game is ridiculously hard. When it says, "DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING.", it's not joking.
